Gee, Goodman has reps! Maybe, just maybe, the Goodman "rep" knows what he's talkng about when it comes to Goodman equipment.

I am not the only "Goodman rep", by the way. That's right, Goodman reps are everywhere nowadays. Of course this one will be taken some time off in few weeks, so no more association with any manufacturer, eh?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by i_got_ideas There is one difference you guys are forgetting.....

The Amana is darker grey
EDIT: can't forget....the Amana has nitride ignitor, Goodman has Norton mini-ignitor.
Other than that you got'er covered.

Word is that the Goodman condensers are going to look better next year too. The way it was explained to me, sounds like a Carrier type look. I'm not sure on that though.

The lifetime/10 year, he's talking about replacement of the whole unit if the Hx fails within that time.

RoBo....with warranties like that I think Goodman at LEAST should require warranty work to be done by Good-care dealers. This way we can determine the reason for failure and prevent another from failing within a couple of years. We could determine if the homeowner just plain didn't change the filter and then not warranty the replacement. Check gas pressures, etc. to make sure everything is ok down to the duct work. If something is wrong the HO would have to have the fix taken care of before the warranty work could proceed.

Well, that might not be a bad idea if you also held the original Goodman installer responsible if he installed the unit without doing a load calculation and documented that the ductwork was proper at the time of installation. After all, that is why we call you professionals to do the work.
